  • Yes, but you seemed to only focus on the effects for the steel industry and handwaved away the loss from rrtaliation.I’m pointing out that it was overall negative.

    Youre also thinking its a zero sum game. In sourcing to the domestic market because of tarrifs means less competitive pricing which reduces demand and productivity. New products are not launched due to costs being too high to do so. New factories go unbuilt.

    Tariffs to build in the negative externalities, like lax labor laws or carbon cost are allowed by WTO and level the playing field making trade more predictable, not more erratic and I expect will be a big part of future global trade. Trunks tariffs were not that. I take your point though that his weren’t that. I think its worth clarifying why.

    Yep, as an Irish jaywalker, I was shocked to find not only is jaywalking not allowed, but you actually get fined. For crossing the road with no traffic.

    Or even just being denied entry to a pub for racism or sexism. Its an offrnce not to leave immediately.

    On the bright side, peopke clean their shit upnin parks and beaches for the most part.
